I hope you had nice weekend. We celebrated Thanksgiving early, having the big dinner on Saturday since many of us will be out of town. It was really nice.

I could easily have stamped the bird onto the card but I chose to stamp and die-cut so I could slightly bend up the wings and branch.

Copic markers – BG10, G21, G24

I added just a bit of color to the bird using a BG10 Copic marker.

To add a bit more definition, I die-cut a pale blue circle to frame the bird beneath the stitched circle.

Thanks for stopping by today!

This week the Stamping Bella challenge was to use an image from the same category as the Stamp of the Month. The SOTM for November is Edna Loves the Ocean (25% off through 11/30) so that meant to choose any image from Edna the Fairy Godmother category.

NEXT WEEK’S CHALLENGE

Use any current Stamping Bella image and the photo below as inspiration:

If you’d like, email your card to emily@stampingbella.com by next Thursday to be featured on the SB blog. By doing so, you’ll also be entered to win some Bella Bucks! All challenge details can be found HERE.

Happy Harvest is a lovely collection of fall themed patterns. I used the lighter paper as a background, stripes for the “pumpkins” and brown and green for stems and leaves. I used the circle tag die to create the tag as well as the plain circular frames. Here’s how I perfectly removed the tag loop on the left and right pumpkins:

First, die-cut the tag shape from striped paper. I hung the die off the edge of the paper since I didn’t need the whole loop.

Once the tag is die-cut, carefully place the paper back into the die, face down, with the extra loop area at the bottom. (That part could be along any side, just not at the top as that is the area we want to cleanly remove.)

Run the tag/die through the die-cutting machine a second time. The extra loop area is now perfectly removed.

Inside the shaker, I placed new Gem Toppings mixed with circular Wood Toppings and orange Pops. Once the shaker and additional pumpkins were created and assembled, I tied on a bit of hemp cord, added a few new orange Bubbles, and new die-cut sentiment word “happy.” “Autumn” was stamped from the Windows Shaped Shaker kit stamp set.

Inside the shaker, I sprinkled new Gems Toppings and gold and green Rubble. The new sentiment dies were used with brown patterned paper from Happy Harvest. As a finishing touch, I adhered a few yellow Bubbles and then three tiny Gems around the sentiment. New Gems are perfect as tiny embellishments and easy to adhere as the backs are flat. I used Sheer Glue to adhere.

I don’t send handmade cards to everyone on my list, but I like to have enough for those whom I know appreciate the effort.

Each “buck” was colored with Copic markers (listed above) with the noses then covered with Glossy Accents.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

This week with Stamping Bella we are working with any image that is not from the latest release (or “vintage”). I’ve been trying to focus a bit on Christmas cards so I chose to use Elves with Treats from The Littles Christmas Collection.

I used the stamp with the three elves and candies/cookie together. The elves and candies are also available as a set with each image as a separate stamp HERE. That way you can create your own Little scenes as well.

NEXT WEEK’S CHALLENGE

Use an image from the same category as the November Stamp of the Month (Edna Loves the Ocean, 25% off through 11/30), which means use an image from the Edna the Fairy Godmother. If you’d like, email your card to emily@stampingbella.com by next Thursday to be featured on the SB blog. By doing so, you’ll also be entered to win some Bella Bucks! All challenge details can be found HERE.

After die-cutting the images from dark brown card stock, I removed all the inside pieces then die-cut again from X-Press It Blending Card. I colored the inside areas with Copic markers then inserted the pieces into the dark brown image frames.

Tip: It’s easiest to color the pieces without removing them from the image frame. If the pieces fall out, simply put them back in to color.

A sentiment from Fall Sampler finished the card. (I carefully snipped apart the Thanksgiving blessings stamp so it was easier to arrange the sentiment. I think I’ll get a lot of use out of the simple word “blessings” by itself…and I really like the font.)

Thanks for visiting today!

I hope you had a nice weekend. Today I’m sharing two more cards using Queen & Company‘s Monster Mash kit. It’s so very cute with several different themes possible using the fun coordinating stamp set. The kit includes six colors of pompoms, each in two different sizes, 26 dies (!) providing base layouts for the pompoms, arms, legs, hair, antennae, smiles with white backdrops for creating easy teeth, gloobers for super quick adherance of the poms, and lets not forget the EYES! Serious monster love, here!

First I created a friendly monster hello. The base shape (which includes embossed circles to help in pom placement) was die-cut then gloobers and poms adhered. After die-cutting the hair, I colored a piece of white string with a pink Copic markerthen tied around a piece of the hair.

The sentiment was white embossed on Fright Fest patterned paper with a scattering of pink Epoxy Dots applied as a finishing touch.

Next, I have a fun “human” birthday card. I created the monster as above, adhering the body at a tilt with balloons (not included in the kit) carrying him away. Again, the sentiment was white embossed on Fright Fest patterned paper with Epoxy Dots added as confetti.
